Q:
Question: My wife had kidney transplant operation 3 years ago and now her transplanted kidney is failing again. Currently, her creatinine level is 7. She has edema and daily urine output is 700cc. Within a month she will start to undergo dialysis. What kind of treatment do you offer in such a case?
A:
Answer: Kidney transplant is really a good way to get off dialysis in kidney failure. However, it does not mean we will not suffer from kidney failure again after surgery, because new kidney also runs high risk to be damaged if the real cause of kidney damages is not removed. And this condition is especially common in IgA Nephropathy and FSGS.
Besides, you said she has edema, high creatinine 7 and less urine output 700cc. I need you to understand all these problems are resulted from declined kidney function. Kidneys filter blood, during this process, they remove wastes and unwanted fluid out of the body as urine. When kidneys fail to function properly, creatinine build up in blood, leading to high creatinine level and meanwhile unwanted fluid stay in the body, leading to edema and decrease of urine output. All these problems are resulted from decline of kidney function, so if we want to solve these problems, we need to strengthen kidney and increase kidney function.
If your wife was in our hospital now, she will be treated with a systematic treatment which contains Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Mai Kang mixture, oral herbs and Foot Bath. I can not guarantee she will be cured because there is no complete cure for Chronic Kidney Failure, but I can make sure her kidney function can be increased greatly. Also, she can avoid dialysis and second kidney transplant successfully.
Besides, I hope you send her latest test report to kidneycares@hotmail.com. We will help to analyze her test report and then reply you with specific treatment plan and estimate cost.
